Seeing constant activities of Sushma Swaraj, Minister of External Affairs, it would not be wrong to state that she has kept ahead of the game and that too perfectly. It had not been much time when she proved to be of a great help for an upset lady being caught in a soup with cops of Dubai. This time again, she assisted an Indian lady held hostage in United Arab Emirates.
It was on 22nd August that Dev Tamboli tweeted the following to Sushma Swaraj:
@SushmaSwaraj need help for rescuing my sister fm UAE. She went to UAE for job on 14th but now locked in a room pls contact me +97466893988
— Dev Tamboli (@Devtamboli) August 21, 2015
And it’s really creditable on the part of MEA that she took no time in replying and assuring him:
I have asked our Ambassador in UAE to help. He will speak to you and do the needful. @Devtamboli
— Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) August 22, 2015
Soon after, Tamboli tweeted back:
@SushmaSwaraj thanks, just got call from embassador. I launched complaint with help of my friends in UAE and Dubai CID also started action
— Dev Tamboli (@Devtamboli) August 22, 2015
And after sometime, Sushma’s tweet with regard to the matter:
We have rescued your sister with help of local Police. She is being moved to a shelter home run by Indian Embassy in Dubai. @Devtamboli
— Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) August 22, 2015
To which he replied:
@SushmaSwaraj thank you very much for all support I got from You, Ambassador in UAE and Indian social organisations in UAE.

Twitter outpoured with tweets of appreciations for the Minister of External Affairs and users complimented her for being “proactive and helpful”, saying they are proud to have such a foreign minister for the first time in the history of India.

No doubt, it was a good day for MEA and should be; she deserves to be praised! However, besides this, people have seen her performing brilliantly in the course of press conference which was held for stressing on talks between India & Pak, being terrorism the mere focal point. To quote what Swaraj stated, “Keeping in mind the spirit of the Simla Agreement, don’t make Hurriyat a third party to the talks, and keeping the spirit of Ufa, don’t expand the subject of talks beyond terrorism.”
